There are only a bunch of corpse demons with inhuman skeletons left, which is not too disgusting.

The corpse demon's skeleton is a valuable material for making rare items and poisons, but it doesn't look like Lurna is collecting skeletons.

The long black stick that seems to be the most valuable is right there, and there is no need to look for it.

What loot is left on the corpse demon?

After regaining his body, Ladislaus drank a bottle of potion to treat minor injuries and just watched Lurna continue to search without intending to hinder her.

Not to mention that now that there is a conflict, head-on confrontation is still not good. Even if the combat effectiveness is restored, Ladislaus still thinks that Lurna should get the spoils.

Even though she had been lurking for so long, 90% of the hard work was done by Ladislaus and his team.

But this is evidence of her superior skills.

No matter what her reasons were, it was the trickster Lurna who saved the lives of Ladislaus and his party this time. She could have waited until the corpse demon won a complete victory before coming out.

So, Ladislaus just waited quietly while she lowered her head and was busy searching.

Moreover, the achievement of defeating the corpse demon basically belongs to Ladislaus. For any natural life, this is an achievement worthy of respect.

Ladislaus' reputation has now reached 550, which is a big step closer to activating the title of Archbishop.

Without letting Ladislaus wait too long, Lurna found what she wanted. After all, the thing glowed faintly in the morning light, so it was not difficult to find.

A handkerchief.

That handkerchief to be precise.

The "gift" Cardinal Colonna accepted when leaving Florence.

No wonder Alessandro, the kid with Moorish ancestry, acted so nervously when he handed it over.

It turns out that this is not a souvenir at all, but a reminder for the coyote to mark the location of the lamb in the dark.

It was so admirable that Ladislaus couldn't help but cheer in his heart for the Medici family's insidiousness and cunning.

The handkerchief had been absorbed by the corpse demon and was still as smooth as new amidst the mess, with no stains or dust at all.

Lurna carefully folded the square handkerchief and put it carefully into her chest.

At this time, Ladislaus spoke: "I've known you for a long time, Miss Luna, but I haven't officially gotten to know you yet."

Lurna raised her head, and the two people, who had competed several times, could see each other's eyes clearly for the first time.

Both parties are quite well-known figures in Liguria City, but compared to the exposure of the Warlock Councilor, the image of the Trickster, who is a killer, is relatively less known.

Obviously, the profession requires legislators to sell their faces and assassins to hide their faces.

So Lurna didn't show any special expression when she looked at the warlock who was as handsome as expected and the strange Habsburg chin as rumored.

Ladislaus, on the other hand, was a little surprised by Luna's blond hair and bright eyes and white teeth.

It's a bit unexpected that such a beautiful person is famous for head-on assassination.

She should have better methods of action.

However, her strong lines and relaxed and natural standing posture are rare in women's faces.

From the appearance of Ladislaus, you can feel that he is a strong and persistent person who pursues strength.

The eyes of the two people who had once fought life and death met for a moment, as if some new encounter was brewing.

Ladislaus moved his eyes to the lower part of Lurna's slender neck, where the handkerchief was.

"How do you feel?" Ladislaus asked with a smile.

Lurna responded with a smile of excitement and satisfaction: "The feeling? It's really indescribable. It reminds me of my first love's hands."

"That guy was lucky then, but you are lucky now." Ladislaus showed an ambiguous smile.

"He was not lucky for long. He was just lucky enough to want to betray the news that I learned magic missiles to another unlucky person."

"Another unlucky man? Rumor has it that your leader was killed by you because he coveted your beauty."

"Do you believe this kind of joke? I escaped from the orphanage when I was nine years old and struggled in a gang of thieves for ten years. I have long since stopped worrying about who wants to have sex with me, let alone who can refuse the leader. The leader is really angry.

I slept with a pretty girl who was just good-looking, betraying his constant protection. I loved her because of his protection and charisma, but he just thought he could give my first night to some nobleman.

He doesn't want me, and I don't want him.

That pretty boy was beaten by the leader and was about to be hanged. He wanted to use my secret to survive. You know how rare it is for me to learn a magic just by relying on a stolen magic scroll. You must know that this proves that in

I am also considered the smartest among mages.

Now I know it too.

It's a pity that I didn't know it at the time, but I just killed both of them, the two people I loved.

Ha, nobles, how can you, a noble who was born with a silver spoon in your mouth, understand how many tricks and scheming it takes to build a gold-fingered gang of dozens of people? You warlocks have been intermarrying for generations, and you can feel it since you were born.

When you get to the Magic Network, you know how many sleepless nights we mages have to spend. You are occupying resources and controlling knowledge, and you are not even willing to tell us the secret of its value."

It seemed that Ladislaus had such a low opinion of the leader Lurna had a crush on, which made her very angry, and she excitedly revealed the emotional past that she had hidden deep in her heart.

"You have been pursuing power and strength for so many years. I think you must understand why we do this, right? Information is wealth. How can we be lucky to get wealth?"

"Yes, so now I am very satisfied." The emotion was only revealed for a short moment, and Lurna put on a smile again.

"Yes, you should be satisfied. Have I congratulated you? No? Congratulations, but can you tell me more specifically how satisfied you are? I'm very curious about how much a cardinal's life is worth."

"This is also information and wealth. Are you ready to buy it?"

"The purple pulp on the ground was originally the cardinal's ring. This kind of purple material was squandered by His Majesty the Holy See and has a monopoly on distribution. It is extremely rare on the market. There is a price but no market. The cardinal ring

The materials used are even more

A fine product that has been refined a hundred times. If you know how to strengthen armor or create rare items, you will need this rare item." Ladislaus stretched out his finger with the ring on it and pointed to the piece lying on the ground in the night.

I can't see the color clearly, it seems to be a stain.

"But I have always only had the skills to kill people, and I don't know how to strengthen armor or create rare objects." As he said this, Lurna had already taken out a bag and used a dagger to pry out the cooled and solidified juice.

stand up.

"I have already paid the price." Ladislaus ignored Lurna's bargaining skills and just insisted on his request.

"The City Hall of Florence will pay 20,000 thalers to repurchase this handkerchief." Lurna said the number without thinking too much about herself.

This is indeed a huge sum of money, but it is not much to buy the life of a cardinal.

"My uncle, His Highness Andre Doria will endorse you, otherwise you will not live to enjoy such a huge wealth." Ladislaus suddenly mentioned the ruler of the current Ligurian Republic.

"Yes, His Royal Highness the Navy Marshal is really a good boss, ten times better than the Xibo family, but how did you guess that?"

"The contemporary elected pope is a Dutchman. As an outsider, he has to rely on Cardinal Colonna in many places. It's not surprising that the Medici family wants to kill him, but you can't get involved with the Medici family so quickly.

It can only be through the relationship between the Doria family and the Medici family. The Colonna family has always been in a dominant position in the Papal State's army and is also the main force supporting the Papal State's alliance with Spain and Austria. My uncle's plan to kill him was successful.

This corpse demon killed the Medici family monitors, but he can get the memories of those monitors, so he can naturally forge reports and pretend that everything is normal. It is not difficult to pretend that everything is normal. This time it is also for the 20,000 thalers, so let's do it. Unexpectedly

You picked peaches along the way."

Ladislaus got enough information and thought he had basically sketched the whole story.

"How are my father and brother now?" Anna, who had been enduring the flirting between the two, heard Lurna mention the "Sibo family" and Ladislaus's analysis of Lurna's origins.

Finally, I couldn't bear it anymore and asked him out loud.

ps: Continuing with the third update, as an office worker, Castle is really going to be drained.

It’s a particularly cold and lonely night here without Dota or Europa Universalis.

I miss you very much, ah, it’s you, collect and recommend.
